Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / Commentators have recognized the religious interests of the American philosopher Borden Parker Bowne (1847-1910). His influence in the development of the theological climate of The Methodist Church has been considerable. However, no thoroughgoing attempt has been made to organize systematically his doctrinal work. His theology has been mediated through his students who presented a variety of solutions to the theological problems raised by Bowne. The intention of the writer is to discover and expound the main features of Bowne's Christian theology, to relate them to historic Christian doctrine under the classical categories of apologetics, dogmatics, and ethics, and to appraise the nature and significance of his theological contribution.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University. / The purpose of this dissertation is to trace the development of the Southern Illinois Conference of The Methodist Church. The primary sources for the study were The Minutes of the Annual Conferences, The Minutes of the Illinois Conference, and the Journal of the Southern Illinois Conference. Secondary sources had to be used for much of the early history. Methodism began in England and was brought to America by Wesley's preachers. Francis Asbury supervised the spread of Methodism from the Eastern seaboard into the Ohio River Valley [TRUNCATED]

This thesis compares various aspects of the preaching ministries conducted by two Methodist contemporaries, preachers, and professed ‘men of one book’, John Wesley and George Whitefield.  One of the principal ways in which Wesley and Whitefield manifested their desire to be ‘men of one book’ was through a life-long commitment to itinerant preaching.  Indeed it was especially in their capacity as ‘preachers of one book’ that Wesley and Whitefield feature so prominently in an evangelical revival that spanned not only England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the American colonies, but also included Calvinists and Armenians.  But even though itinerant preaching occupied privileged place in the efforts of Wesley and Whitefield to further evangelical revival, their public ministries did not consist wholly of spoken sermons.  Instead, both deliberately pursued a ‘print and preach’ ministry, where their published sermons complemented and reinforced the sermons they preached. In order to remain sensitive to their dual commitment to the spoken and printed work, and in response to the conspicuous paucity of intentionally comparative studies that focus on the full-orbed preaching ministries conducted by these two Church of England clergymen, this thesis compares Wesley’s and Whitefield’s style, delivery and rationale for field-preaching, paying particular attention to the influence of Scripture on these facets of their spoken sermons.  In addition, various aspects of their sermons as they appear in printed form are compared.  This includes a comparison of the function of their published sermons within their wider ministries, how their printed sermons reflected the way they used, applied and interpreted the Bible, and also how they understood its prominent doctrines.  Ultimately, Wesley and Whitefield manifested their singular desire to be men of one book through preaching ministries that were by no means identical, yet equally committed to the spread of the gospel throughout the transatlantic world.
